Montgomery is covered by the county and the state

Montgomery has no police department of its own in the FBI’s data. Calls here most likely go to the Hillsdale County Sheriff’s Office and the Michigan State Police, and their numbers cover the whole area they patrol, not just Montgomery.

Crimes reported in the parts of Hillsdale County it patrols: the towns and villages without police of their own.

Property crimes (burglary, theft, stolen cars)

Violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape, murder)

Michigan State Police

The State Police also patrol Hillsdale County, mostly its rural roads and towns.

Property crimes (burglary, theft, stolen cars)

Violent crimes (assault, robbery, rape, murder)

▼ Property crime down 44% since 2022▼ Violent crime down 41% since 2022

These are counts, not rates. The FBI doesn’t publish how many people each agency covers, so we can’t turn them into a per-resident figure or a Safety Grade. Source: FBI Uniform Crime Reporting, offenses known to law enforcement by county and by state agency.

The Safety Grade is our own summary of that data, not an official rating. Natural hazards: FEMA National Risk Index and flood insurance claims. Hospitals: CMS Hospital General Information. This isn’t an official statement of public safety. In an emergency, call 911.
